It depends on how Tortoise is sending the command to CVS... try typing the
same into cmd.exe - it should work there.. eg:

D:\Develop>cvs commit -m "test test" "directory\test directory\foo bar.txt"
cvs [commit aborted]: cannot find directory\test directory\foo bar.txt: No
such file or directory

..which looks right (I don't have such a file) and is handling the quoting OK.
